Winter dawn on the bayfront side of Ocean City comes up pink behind the mainland, and whatever fell overnight is still sitting untouched on the drives. Veteran Landscaping LLC is out in it, clearing driveways, walks and entries so the block can get moving. Come the warm half of the year the same route turns green: mowing, trimming and edging on a weekly turn while the island fills up and every yard is on display. Working a place through both extremes teaches you what it needs — short cuts in the salt wind, clean paths in the cold, nothing left ragged at the corners. The finish line either way is a property somebody is glad to pull up to.
